1/4 #Census #Race and Ethnicity data quick takes - Headlines are emphasizing white population decline...but! Non-Hispanic White people still make up the majority (nearly 60%) of US, and they comprise the largest group in ALL but 3 states (Hawaii, CA, NM) washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/…
(2/4) Headlines align w/ racial anxieties & perceptions of anti-white discrimination (note @PRRIpoll data-Republicans more likely to say whites face discrimination than to say Blacks, Latinos, or Asians face discrimination -these views intensifying according to @nataliemj10 
(3/4) The political implications of demographic change are clear. Latinos make-up the largest OR 2nd-largest racial group in 24 US states; Black people account for largest OR 2nd-largest in 18 states. Asian Americans are the fastest-growing group nationally & in many states
(4/4) Asian Americans were among the groups most reluctant to answer the Census according to early tests. The fact that 24million Asian Americans (alone or in combo) answered is a huge testament to our community organizations and coalition partners. SHOUT OUT
(4/5) Race matters - a lot - but the census data show race is socially constructed - huge growth in multiracial population a function of population trends AND changes in how questions on the census form were asked
